Mutiny is often associated with the occasional mis-leadership of the masses by politically inspired hotheads or a spontaneous and unusually romantic gesture of defiance against a uniquely overbearing military superior. In reality it is seldom either, and usually it has far more mundane roots, not in the absolute poverty of the subordinates but in the relative poverty of the relationships between leaders and led in a military situation. Using contemporary leadership theory to cast a critical light on an array of mutinies across time and space, this book suggests we consider mutiny as a permanent possibility that is further encouraged or discouraged by particular contexts. What turns discontent into mutiny, however, lies in the leadership skills of a small number of leaders, and what transforms that into a constructive dialogue or a catastrophic disaster depends on how the leaders of both sides mobilize their supporters and their networks. From mutinies in ancient Roman and Greek armies through those that were generated by uncaring European monarchs and those that toppled the German and Russian states—and those that forced governments to face their own disastrous policies and changed them forever—this book covers an array of cases across land, sea, and air that still pose a threat to military establishments today.

In advertising tourism discourse both verbal and iconic elements are combined in a network of interrelations to meet the tourists’ expectations. The main functions of advertising tourism discourse are to arouse curiosity, to form positive pictures and values in tourists’ mind and to lead tourists to self-convincing in the necessity to visit the advertised destination. Each discourse has own “time” and “space” markers. Our research focuses on the analysis of the time markers in advertising tourism discourse. Time markers in discourse influence the formation of positively marked affective image of tourism destination image in the potential tourist’s mind. Chronotope of advertising tourism discourse expressed in time and space markers allows to define the discourse as “dialogue” in time and space loop. Advertising tourism discourse is a symbiosis of persuasive and emotional components that allows considering it as communication with the implementation of influential methods and means to induce the recipients and stimulate them to the addresser- favorable actions. Time markers attract recipient’s attention and highlight the necessity of the advertised product (tourism destination). We defined main time markers in English advertising tourism discourse. Addresser manipulates time markers in advertising tourism discourse, stresses on positive side of time spending and gives recipient the feeling of the absolute power over time.

AbstractArchaeologists working in the Basin of Mexico have long accepted a chronology in which sequential ceramic phases (Metepec, Coyotlatelco, Mazapan, Aztec I, and Aztec II) define the period between the last stages of Classic Teotihuacan and the immediate antecedents of Late Postclassic Tenochtitlan. The absolute chronology of these phases has remained tentative, and there have been hints of possible temporal overlap between some of them. A series of 37 new radiocarbon dates from three deep, stratified sites in the Basin of Mexico suggest (1) that the traditional sequence of phases is essentially valid; (2) that both Coyotlatelco and Aztec I may have begun significantly earlier than traditionally believed; (3) that there may have been partial chronological overlap between Late Coyotlatelco and Early Aztec I in some parts of the basin; (4) that there was probably little significant temporal overlap between Aztec I and Aztec II; and (5) that the ethnohistorically recognized sociopolitical complexity of the long era in question is amply reflected in a regional ceramic sequence that still requires considerable refinement in both time and space.

How to read Danne-Virke - some hermeneutic ReflectionsBy Kim Arne PedersenIn this paper a new interpretation is put on Grundtvig’s philosophical ideas as represented in the magazine Danne-Virke (D) 1816-1819. Arguments are adduced against the generally accepted understanding of these ideas represented by William Michelsen’s interpretation of Grundtvig’s philosophy as an alternative to Kant’s transcendental idealism and the Absolute Idealism, completely different from these philosophical traditions. According to William Michelsen, Grundtvig stresses the common experience of time as being independent of man and emphasizes the empirical theory of knowledge and the ordinary non-scientific language. Thereby, Grundtvig opposes Kant’s transcendental understanding of time and the ego-orientated speculation of the Absolute Idealism. Grundtvig therefore understands human knowledge as limited by time and space. Grundtvig separates knowledge and faith and claims that the only possible human understanding of God has to be symbolic, because man is created in the image of God. William Michelsen stresses, that Grundtvig never accepts a scientific knowledge of God or proofs of the existence of God.The alternative interpretation in this paper uses a terminological method in reading Grundtvig’s /^-articles, examining the historical roots of his philosophical expressions. Although Grundtvig argues against scientific language, he combines pre-critical Wolffian descriptions of God’s aseite with the Absolute Idealism’s theories of the transcendental ego, founding time and space (cosmos) in God’s self-consciousness and founding the human knowledge in the principle of contradiction, understood as an expression of God’s Trinitarian self-consciousness or ego. Grundtvig is convinced that the limited human consciousness can only be explained by the consciousness of God, and he understands this idea as a variation of the cosmological proof of the existence of God. In this way, Grundtvig gives the human empirical knowledge a speculative foundation in God’s self-consciousness and uses this foundation in his attack on Kant’s transcendental understanding of time. Finally, this paper demonstrates that Grundtvig’s separation of knowledge and faith is not absolute. Faith involves a dimension of knowledge, and this knowledge has to develop from faith.

The article examines Kant's teaching about space and time (of course, together with Fichte's teaching about the absolute "I") in the context of the formation and development of the spiritual "substance" of self-consciousness. By the latter, the authors understand the social and moral memory of a person, people, or nation. The paper analyzes Kant's teaching about time and space as mediating links connecting the world of phenomena and noumens; it examines the ideas of Kant and Fichte, which is ultimately aimed at identifying the content, heuristic side of the idea of "self-consciousness". The paper examines the relevance of Kant's doctrine of time, which is creatively productive for the analysis of spiritual and socio-cultural processes of the modern era. It is concluded that social and human memory is a certain ability to tie the concepts of "spiritual" and "time" in one knot, which is important for understanding the picture of the modern era.
